I think I've enjoyed reading this just as much as MJ. I'm amazed at how you've stayed so true to the characters essences. When Katniss got back to 13, when she was telling Peeta about her dreams, I was crying at her struggle. This has been amazing to read, and I'm so glad you've shared it with us. This is a very powerful story.

My dear, this is a beautiful creation you have here. I'm somewhat at a loss for words. You've captured the characters perfectly and I would be lying if I said that I was not one hundred percent impressed by your ability to predict and envision so much that is revealed in MJ before it was even released.

I won't go so far as to say that it is better than what Suzanne Collins' wrote, as I feel that to be a tremendous disservice to a brilliant author. I will, however, say that it is a wonderful alternate to Mockingjay and perhaps the most realistic that I have yet encountered. Of course, looking at the number of awards you've received for your stories, I'm sure you're already well aware of all of this.

It saddens me to see this story dangling so precariously close to the end. However, if you say you will finish it, you will finish it and I will wait patiently for the next update. Well...as patiently as I am able.

Best of luck,

Sil

Please finish, I haven't found such a well written fanfic! I read on the edge of my seat and cannot wait to see how this one ends.

I'm in love with your Peeta. He's so warm and solid and real... please don't leave him hanging on, sick like that...

Waiting desperatly for this to be finished: these two realy deserve a happy ending (hopefuly happier -and with more kisses- than the one we got with MJ)

Thank you

I was halfway through the story when I realized it was written BEFORE MJ came out. It is amazing how close it is to the real thing, only 1000 times more satisfying. Please find it in your heart to finish and to let my Peeta live! Thank you.

I just want you to know that i spent the last 24 hours reading this awesome fic and I cannot tell you how much I appreacited it. After reading MJ, I was...well...lts say the book wasnt what I expected it to be and this fic was so THERAPEUTIC, I dont have any other word to describe it as such. So I really, really, really want to thank you. Its the absolutely most wonderful Katniss/Peeta fic out there, youve got the characterization down perfect, the dialogues and plot wonderful and intriguing. I couldnt unglue my eyes even at 3am and kept on reading.

I want to thank you so very much for this piece of sparkly awesomeness. Also, although I see theres a very slim chance for that, do you ever plan in continuing the story? I would die to read more from you.

Otherwise, once again, THANK YOU!

you really need to finish the best story i've read on here!the only reason i can think why you stop'd writing is cause your such an amazing author and busy writing other stuff...but please finish

Ah, I see this hasn't been updated for a while, and so I suppose it might be futile to hope to ever read the ending of this fic (although I'd certainly like to). I thoroughly enjoyed both this fic and your "First Date" fic. I think your characterizations are good and you work very well within the world of the series. I would certainly recommend your stories to anyone wanting to get just a little more of the characters, especially Peeta. Thank you for posting satisfying work!
